Across Middletown Rd. is a small, old, white church, which I was told was the old Gunpowder Baptist Church, with an old cemetery attached. The people at the new Gunpowder Baptist church were kind enough to give me the name of the caretaker for the cemetery. When I wrote to him, he sent me a copy of a newspaper article about the cemetery being the strangest cemetery in the country. However both the people at the New Gunpowder Baptist Church and the caretaker I contacted claim that there are no actual records for burial in the old church cemetery. If anyone knows of any records for this cemetery, I would appreciate knowing of them Thanks Donna
